Throughout the Olympic Games, Devin Booker was spotted with a small camcorder filming his adventure.
He has just released the recap video of his trip to Paris, where we hear him talk about Victor Wembanyama after the final against the French team.
After an easy start to the tournament for them, Team USA players had to face two huge tests on the road to the gold medal.
First Nikola Jokic’s Serbia, then Victor Wembanyama’s France. If they were ultimately victorious, they had to give 100% and especially count on the exploits of Stephen Curry.
The Warriors point guard made 17 long-distance shots combined in the semi-final and final, which could have earned him the title of tournament MVP.
It was ultimately LeBron James, 39, who was rewarded for his consistency throughout the competition. The last member of the trio, Kevin Durant, was also excellent in a sober role as a sniper.
Devin Booker shocked by Wembanyama’s size
Behind them, it was Devin Booker who stood out for his accuracy and sense of sacrifice.
In the shadows, he knew how to take advantage of the slightest space to draw or to make others shine. He also documented his experience in an exceptional 15-minute video available on his social networks.
After the final, we hear him talk in particular about his feelings facing Victor Wembanyama.

You know what we do? We go for gold! Two-time Olympic champion. Twice! Jrue Holiday is a two-time champion.
Anthony Davis is a two-time champion. […] They brought their pivot on my baseline drive and they left Stephen Curry open for 3 points. Seriously?! Am I going to take a shot with that giant f***ing Wemby running at me? Of course not!
Devin Booker may be one of the best forwards on the planet, and he may have been very skillful throughout the tournament, but he didn’t dare take a shot over Victor Wembanyama’s head… A wise decision, since he found Stephen Curry open behind the arc on this decisive play that allowed Team USA to regain a 6-point lead. On the other hand, the Chief doesn’t ask himself the same questions.
He fires, no matter who he’s facing.
